In 1981, Soundman opened the world’s first specialized Walkman™ store in Berlin. More branches followed in Germany. Our Soundman shops in Europe became known for Walkman™ expertise, attracting customers worldwide.
Using our experience with portable recording devices, our engineers created the OKM microphone (Original Head Microphone), worn in the ear. It was launched in 1985.
By placing the microphone in the ears, it allows recordings to match the user’s subjective sound perception. During playback, especially with headphones, it provides a remarkable impression of three-dimensional space.
Since the invention of the OKM microphone in 1985, various accessories have been developed up to the present day.
Advantagous of Using A3 Adapter
A3 Adapter provides automatic level adaption, high microphone supply voltage, very low noise floor, and offers a significant increase in dynamic range compared to conventional direct connection of the microphone to the microphone jack. When recording faint sounds, the combination of OKM microphone or condenser microphones with A3 may yield the best results.
Nevertheless, it’s important to note that the inherent noise from the limited area of the microphone membrane may become audible. Exercise caution to prevent preamp clipping, which can occur if the record level control is set too low.
